PIZZA EXPO Party Time! International Pizza Expo 2019 raised the bar C ompetitions. Food demonstrations. Vendors showcasing wares. Service experts. Seminars. Pizza acrobatics. Receptions. Keynotes. Prize giveaways. International Pizza Expo 2019 had it all and set the bar ever higher. With recordbreaking attendance - the largest show in its 35-year-history - this year's Pizza Expo was one memorable highlight after another. First-time attendee Tony Miller, who plans to open a pizzeria in 2019, says: "My expectations were very high. I came in with a lot of enthusiasm and desire to learn about the industry. I left with so many deep impressions, great networking friends and an even bigger desire to follow business plans to get into the pizza industry. It is a 'must' convention that connects you with the top minds and hearts of the pizza world." Scott Sandler of Pizza Head in St. Louis, who delivered a food demonstration as well as a seminar titled "Restaurant Math," is a Pizza Expo veteran. Here's what he had to say after the show floor closed. "Best Pizza Expo yet! My demo and seminar were packed! I counted about 260 people at the Restaurant Math seminar. There were tons of questions at the end. It was a really awesome experience." 4 0 / P I Z Z AT O D AY. C O M / M AY 2 0 1 9http://www.PIZZATODAY.COM
